Draft Results
- Thread starter Kjbert
- Start date
This Thursday is the "last" draft of the year, until the SuperDraft in January.
Thursday is the Stage 2 Re-Entry Draft. This is the draft where teams can negotiate down the players salary. All the players below could be useful. If these players can be talked down from their cost then NYCFC might grab them. My guess is if a player was already below $60k, NYCFC would have taken him in the first stage (they can't go much lower), so this list are the higher wage earners that might sign.

Patrick Ianni (Chicago Fire) - CD/RD - 150,000 - Decent CB when at Houston, but has fallen out of favor in Seattle and Chicago.
Sanna Nyassi (Chicago Fire) - F/M - 147,000 - super fast and I think has value.
Gonzalo Segares (Chicago Fire) - LD - 160,000 - decent outside back, a work horse and aggressive, Kreis kinda player
Bakary Soumare (Chicago Fire) - LCD - 330,000 - Has been a stalwart in the past but fell apart with the rest of Chicago this year; way over paid.
Marvin Chavez (Chivas USA)*** - M/F - 200,000 - decent skills and speed, older but still has something
Oswaldo Minda (Chivas USA) - DM - 150,000 - Int. - great D-mid, aggressive, could be a Beckerman like player
Martin Rivero (Chivas USA) - M - 50,004 - Int. - the diamond in the rough, could be that great Argentine playmaker that every MLS covets. Injured a lot in the last year. Risky/High reward
Nathan Sturgis (Chivas USA) - CM - 114,000 - Ultimate journeyman in MLS but decent. He played for Kreis in salt lake for a time.
Marvell Wynne (Colorado Rapids) - CD/RD - 200,000 _-fast outside back and full back. Many MLS clubs will want him, probably not there at #19.
Adam Moffat (FC Dallas) - CM - 165,000 - hard working, getting a little slower
Hendry Thomas (FC Dallas) - DM - 180,000 - great D-mid, aggressive, could be a Beckerman like player; Kreis's friend Pareja at Dallas brought Thomas from Rapids when he moved for coaching job. Had injury problems this year and lost form/starting role. I think he still has it.
Jeff Parke (DC United) - CD - 215,000 - veteran CB, had injury probs and lost starting position plus he costs too much
Omar Cummings (Houston Dynamo) - F/M - 250,000 -fast and reliable striker, getting older though
Mamadou "Futty" Danso (Montreal Impact) *** - CD - 87,500 - decent average CB
Stephen McCarthy (New England Revolution) *** - CD - 101,332 - young centerback who can also play midfield, project but might be worth it
Kosuke Kimura (New York Red Bulls) - CD/RD - 105,000 - reliable backup fullback
Kalif Alhassan (Portland Timbers) - CM - 120,000 - Int. - hard working, quick midfielder that got replaced by better mids at Portland. Still a decent depth guy

You seem to have very good knowledge of the MLS scene Magnus.
If you could pick one of those players, who would you go for?
I'm worried more about defense and especially midfield where I think NYCFC is thin.
Any of the midfielders or defenders still around by pick 19 would be good.
I'll give special attention to Martin Rivero, Marvell Wynne, Hendry Thomas, Futty Danso and Stephen McCarthy. Kimura could be good too.

NYCFC says thanks, but no thanks and passed...........
